One of them serves for daily observations of the Sun on a screen. The telescope is a 150/2250 “Meniscas” – Cassegrain-type meniscus-mirror telescope. Sometimes, if needed, photographs of the Sun are taken.
The second telescope is also a 150/2250 “Meniscas” and is used for night observations and photography of celestial objects. The observatory also has other smaller telescopes, multi-lens cameras and binoculars.
